Capital appreciation factors

Rental and income considerations

Rental evidence is building as clusters hand over. Base any income assumption on actual leases in delivered clusters, not on brochure yields.

Supply and liquidity

DAMAC Lagoons is a large community with many similar townhouses across clusters, plus neighbouring DAMAC Hills 2 and other Dubailand projects. Supply at handover is the key risk to test.

Main strengths

  • Distinctive lagoon and resort-style concept
  • Range of townhouse and villa options

Main risks

  • High volume of similar units at handover and resale
  • Car-dependent location
  • Cluster-level differences in delivery timing
